One of the spookiest experiences of my life was activating a pair of noise-canceling headphones in a room that was already quiet and immediately being able to hear my neck vertebrae touching. I snatched them off my head like they were a spider.
Yeah I don't understand it either. They're features that seemed aimed directly at one customer: the guy who is already watching YouTube and texting while going down the interstate and just keeping a vague idea of where the lines and cars are.
You don't find it jarring when sound effects don't sync up with what's supposed to cause them on screen?
As an aside, mobile games aren't the only thing people play on their phones. I emulate every game console I ever owned on my phone as well as using it for a PC display over Sunshine.
Imagine a world where you know exactly where on the title bar you can click to drag a window around and where you can't. A world where you can tell how long pages are by glancing at the scroll bar. A world where you can tell what windows you have open because your taskbar icons are labeled. Enter the world of...Windows 98!
Damn SawStop. You create a product that you can not only lobby the government into forcing people to use, but activating it destroys not only the SawStop but also the saw blade, necessitating replacing two products. What a perfect grift.
I'm going to blame it on Palm's flat refusal to move onto PalmOS 6. Every time a new device came out and it was still on PalmOS 5 the whole community was like "what the fuck are you doing?"
I don't think you know how infinitesimal the amount of power would be. Assuming a Mavic Mini traveling at its maximum speed of 29 miles per hour, it could cross the continental united states in 99 hours for 36 cents worth of electricity.
The density vs syllabic speed concept is pretty widely known, but I'd be interested in analyses of accents inside languages. Why are some accents much slower than others, and how is that not a serious disadvantage? I have firsthand knowledge of the fact that when I, as an American Southerner, try to speak as quickly as a Northerner my mouth falls to pieces.
Every time Goodreads comes up on HN it sounds like a cross between Facebook and drug addiction. I am very glad that I care about as much about other peoples' opinions on the books I read as I do their opinions on my wanking technique.
I appreciate the detailed answer but that wasn't really my question. I wanted to know, in regards to material science, how much stronger we would have to make a regular fishing line of typical diameter using a future material, not how big a line we would have to use. Would it have to be twice as strong? Ten times as strong?
It's absolutely baffling to me that despite the sheer amount of garbage, people still choose to post non-garbage content there at all. You sort through a hundred neo-nazi and race-baiting posts and then you find news that happened less than thirty seconds ago and won't be on CNN for two hours. I wish these "insiders" would find a better place share their information.
AMD GPUs are fantastic values for money when it comes to running mainstream PC games. Once you step outside that narrow box they become infuriating. My 7900XTX is probably the last AMD GPU I ever buy. It's just horrible at all the other things I want to use it for, especially and gallingly, game console emulation. For the first few months I had it I actually kept my old GTX1070 plugged into my motherboard because the eight year old $400 GPU was so much better at half my use cases than the $900 AMD card.
I think there's a gap between the "bedroom is center of home" people and the "bedroom is for sleeping" people. For the former, they value things like changing the appearance of the bed for seasonal or taste-based reasons. For people like me in the latter category, the things on the bed are like the floor mats in my car: as long as they're clean I don't give a damn what they look like. They're purely functional objects that I don't even see for more than a few seconds a day.
"Beloved" doesn't necessarily mean good journalism. The type of rage-bait that includes trying to publicly shame a Native American child for painting his face in team colors and wearing a family headdress to a football game is likely to make you quite beloved among a certain crowd.
Windows has been disconnected from user needs for a very long time. Any logical person would've put a "right click" icon in the Control Panel that would give the user full control of what does and doesn't appear in the menu, their order, etc.
Perhaps I'm out of date on the subject, but does it matter how fast it is when Apple's x86 translation layer makes Microsoft's look like banging rocks together? Not to mention the fact much of Apple's ecosystem now runs natively on ARM whereas that is decades away for Microsoft if it ever happens at all.
Natural language to command line is the kind of functionality people dream about but it seems incredibly dangerous. How can I trust it to do what I intend every time? ChatGPT certainly isn't good enough as I've learned trying to use it on files I thankfully had a backup of.
It's truly a tragedy that lagging interest in Dragon Ball deprived us of twenty years of his output. I'm thankful we got to appreciate his stunning return for the last nine.
Your yuzu/ryujinx installation could've become messed up and stopped looking in the right folder but your save files were still there and recoverable, I promise.
